I was speaking to Jason at the Neptune Cafe, Jason knew of a
criminal law only solicitor, Jason stated that this solicitor was
very good, he would appoint the right barrister for the job, the
solicitor was very good in this respect. The solicitors name was
Charle's Riddleston. I was still concerned at using a solicitor in
Ipswich, you never know who is sleeping with who, and in to which
areas all the links run. I went to the reception at Ipswich
Magistrates court and made further enquiries as to Charle's
Riddleston's worth. The court official said that they had sorted
out all of the bad solicitors, all of their solicitors where good.
They stated that Charle's Riddleston was very good.
COUNT 1 IS, NO 1 Crime no: IP/96/5730
ON THURSDAY 30 MAY 1996 AT IPSWICH ASSAULTED DAVID BALL
CONTRARY TO SECTION 39 OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE ACT 1988.
COUNT 2 IS, NO 2 Crime no: IP/96/5729
ON THURSDAY 30 MAY 1996 AT IPSWICH WITHOUT LAWFUL EXCUSE MADE TO
DAVID BALL A THREAT TO KILL DAVID BALL INTENDING THAT THE SAID
DAVID BALL WOULD FEAR THAT THE SAID THREAT WOULD BE CARRIED OUT
CONTRARY TO SECTION 16 OF THE OFFENCES AGAINST THE PERSON ACT 1861
I was asked how I would plead to the above charges, I pleaded not guilty to both charges to ensure that the matter would finally go to magistrates or to High Court level for mutual cross examination with my positive evidence to destroy this crooked council. I had already stated that this was what I wanted to do at a prior meeting with my solicitor. The prosecutors at the Ipswich Courts are aware of my struggle with Ipswich Borough Council because of previous court appearances pertinent to my concern for swimming pool safety and intimidation from I.B.C. and I.B.C.'s lack of care for patrons, and the alleged cash fiddle.
The prosecutor then stated that I had satisfied the bail conditions so far. Would the Judges also consider this ? At this point the Judges stated that they would retire for consideration. The Judges returned after about ten minutes. They stated that they agreed that there was no direct threat, or threats made to take life, the lessor charge could be brought before the courts. The bail conditions would not be changed. The hearing was concluded upon the arrangement of another court date appearance, this next court appearance was set for the 17 July 1996.
I had a further appointment with my solicitor Charle's Riddleston,
Charle's did not think the case would go to Crown Court, he felt
the case would be contained at the Magistrates Court level,
Charle's thought the court case would be held in September. I was
pleased with this statement, I wanted to get the case over with
and get on with my life promoting my electronics business. I
wanted to get a meeting outside the Broom Hill pool highlighting
the matters that had happened since 1992. I decided on another
leaflet campaign to bring about a meeting on Sunday 14th July
1996 at the Broom Hill pool. Jason offered to post leaflets
through letter boxes close to where David Ball lived including his
immediate neighbours. I posted leaflets through letter boxes near
the Broom Hill pool. I also handed out leaflets to school
children, at near by schools, I asked if they had an interest in
the pool before giving children the leaflets.
This was one of the hottest and busiest periods at the Broom Hill Swimming pool. This action was also taken by I.B.C. to annoy many local residents to bring opposition to close this pool. Up to 150 people were using the pool at night. The police were at Broom Hill nearly every night. The H.S.E. where very busy and I could not get them to the pool in time to issue a remedial notice. I had a meeting with Ipswich police in August 1995 about this matter. On the 30 MAY, 96. After letters and telephone calls to I.B.C. also to David Ball and after two attempts to publish the above, I went to see the head of Ipswich Borough Council Mr. David Ball at his home address at Cliff lane Ipswich about this matter. Ball admitted the knowledge of the attempted murder by management to close Broom Hill, Because of this disclosure I have been charged with common assault and the threat to kill David Ball at his home address.
In 1991, pool closed, rate cap, Public support reopened the pool in
1992. Correspondence started the 2nd July 92, to John Ward the
then overall swimming pools manager, re, 1. The very dangerous
diving boards, no structural survey, boards rotten, ( the top
board was taken out of use just after the pool opened for the
summer season. ) 2. Patrons entered unlocked underground chemical
store, they were banned. 3. Disgusting and expensive cafeteria, a
safety aspect. 4. The cash recording apparatus was very suspect,
you could not see the recording display, no receipts given, no
audible acknowledgement of cash transaction, no armbands issued.
The till was sometimes switched off. 5. The pool was allowed to
turn black, no chemical treatment caused an algae growth, I called
in the local press, an article was published. 6. Intimidation
to all diving patrons, staff stopped all diving for a few days.
I.B.C. then introduced limited diving use upon the orders of John Ward and Joe Orr. This intimidation was implemented by the appearance of a new supervisor, Michael Walker. In 1993, 1. When the pool opened, the sunbathing areas at Broom Hill were filthy, the terraces had not been pressure jet cleaned. I wrote to I.B.C, the problem was addressed. 2. Patrons were again stopped from doing artistic diving, ( this practise prior to my calling in of the press had been allowed at the pool since it had opened sixty years ago.) 3. The diving Boards were extremely dangerous, after many letters to I.B.C. I called in the H.S.E, a remedial notice was served on I.B.C. to correct these very dangerous diving boards, another article appeared in the press. 4. I was abusive to Huntley, this cretinous manager because of his intimidation of me and of patrons, and because of his absolute ability to supervise an unbelievably dangerous swimming pool. The police where called, I was arrested and charged and fined œ100 for being abusive. 5. Jamie Cann MP. ( MP For HIMSELF,) ex council leader for 20 years was written to and he was not interested in preserving his constituents lives.
In 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, no easy rider tickets where recorded, this keeps down recorded entrants. Any crooked dirty trick to close this pool !!! Goodbye Broom Hill, Goodbye Airport !!! Ipswich is now not sign posted as you leave London. Hehir, Cann and Ball are killing this town, The spirit of Ipswich dives out of planes, dives off diving boards, Suckling Airways was the best deal that this town had seen. Say œ80,000 in back handers for the airport land, say œ20,000 in back handers for Broom Hill, that's œ33K each to three crooked scum bags for selling the heritage of this town, two unusual facilities that could attract undergraduates to Ipswich when we get to full university status. Any of the pool attendants, " do not refer to these dummies as lifeguards," they could have called in the press or the H.S.E. anonymously when the pool was dangerous in 92, 93, 95.
In 1995 they left the pool every night with the fence open for
three weeks, more scum. I look forward to seeing you at Broom
Hill, I am Tim Marsh, ASA registered diving instructor, diving
expert, and expert diving safety officer, proven track record. I
used Broom Hill for 18 years before being banned from all I.B.C.
sports centres in 1994. This was the same year that I received a
commendation from the Director General of the H.S.E. for making
Broom Hill swimming pool safe. Also in 1994, the H.S.E. made a verbal
recommendation to I.B.C. management that the hand rails were to be
extended on the diving boards, This work was never carried out.
You can still fall 12 feet and hit the pool side and be killed.
John Ward left I.B.C. four months after a boy died in crown pools. Do
not communicate with David Ball about this leaflet, this is
contrary to my bail conditions. I.B.C. = The Ipswich Mafia. I.B.C.
control most of the cash collection in this town, the buses the
car parks, the leisure centres.
14 07 96 I went to the Broom Hill swimming pool at 11 AM, I walked up Sherrington Road, I rather expected to see a large crowd of people outside the pool, this was not so. Steven Huntley the supervisor was outside the pool, as I approached him he growled, " did you put out these leaflets," showing me a leaflet, Huntley stated the leaflets had caused him a lot of trouble, I said that I was happy with this. This displeased Huntley. I then stated there is not enough people here for a meeting, disappointed, I turned and walked away, I returned home.
15 07 96 I went and saw a young social worker, at the Ipswich social services office, Tower St. Ipswich. I handed her and others including the manager copies of the leaf96 leaflet. I asked her office to communicate with me about the Broom Hill swimming pool. I stated that I was very concerned about the management of this pool. Social Services did not communicate with me
19 07 96. I went to see my G.P. about my psychopathy brought about
by David Ball stating he knew that I.B.C. where trying to kill a
member of the public to close the Broom Hill pool, this event had
also stopped all of my prior project work, this had added to the
anger. I explained that I had since the Ball event had
experienced whilst awake visions of pouring petrol over David
Ball, this was killing him. I explained that for a time I could
see my hands around peoples necks although my hands where
physically at my side. I explained that these visions where
rescinding and that these visions of killing Ball where bringing
down the level of phychopathy. I explained that I did not want
to physically hurt David Ball. I explained that at the end of
every current day pressure would build up in my head so much that
my head felt psychologically rock hard. All I could do to relieve
the pressure, was to go over Holliwells park and lay down looking
at the sky, this was relaxing. I further stated that I would not
harm anybody, this Ball disclosure event had just screwed my head
right up. I found it very difficult to comprehend the killing of
an innocent to close a swimming pool. My G.P. stated that as the
overall condition was rescinding, there was very little that he
could do to help, however, if the condition worsened, then I was
to immediately go and see him.
Charle's stated that if the case went to Crown Court, then at the
committal proceeding, this was the time to plead guilty to the
lessor charge because to do so at this stage was the correct time
as far as sentencing was concerned. If I pleaded guilty at this
stage there would be a lessor sentence passed down to me. I then
stated my concern, that If I pleaded guilty at this stage, could
the second charge be dropped, and I would not get David Ball to
cross examination and his crooked local governments destruction,
my objective, with the evidence that I had. Charle's stated that
it was very unlikely at this stage that the more serious charge
would be dropped. He thought it very unlikely that the Crown
Prosecution Service would stop this case being brought because of
the assumed bias that would be deduced of some collusion and
support from the C.P.S. for I.B.C. The Crown Prosecution Service
would not want this scenario. I felt a bit uncertain to this
arrangement but agreed to proceed on this basis.
We finished the conversation with Charle's Riddleston asking me my views on rapists that inflict severe psychological damage upon their victims. We referred to a recent case where the rapist had psychologically raped the victim again in court by making her relive the ordeal in infinite detail. I stated that I felt such rapists should be introduced to Mr. Scalpel. I then waited to be called to court. I entered the court, the prosecutor read out the charges. He then went on to say that he hoped the matter could be contained at this Magistrates Court level. General background was then discussed. Mr. and Mrs. David Ball where at this hearing to be recognised by the court as witnesses for the forthcoming trial. The Judges then stated that because Mr. Ball was a public figure, the head of Ipswich Borough Council that this matter would have to be examined at Crown Court level. Committal proceedings would take place for the full Crown Court, Court Case appearance and the date was then set for this Crown Court committal hearing for the 27th of September 1996.
I had a letter from Charle's Riddleston 11 09 96. Stating that he had been able to get the Queens Counsel that he wanted. This was a Mr. Rupert Overbury of 5 Kings Bench Walk, Temple London EC4. Charle's also stated that he had played the police interview cassette tape and apart from one minor detail there where no problems. Charle's also stated that If Counsel or Himself thought the playing of the tape would be useful in court, the tape could be played. In a further letter Charle's stated that a conference had been set up between myself, himself and Mr. Rupert Overbury at Charle's office in Ipswich on Tuesday 24th September 1996.
I arrived punctually to the meeting at Charle's Riddlestons office on the 24th. Charle's introduced me to Mr. Rupert Overbury and we began the meeting. The full scenario was discussed, the photographic, newspaper, H.S.E. my diving instructor credentials evidence was mentioned together with the fact that 170 letters had been sent by me in four years to ten different agencies pertinent to this swimming pool safety business. Many of these letters had been signed for or sent by me via recorded delivery mail. I stated that I also had a commendation from the H.S.E. for making this swimming pool safe. I had also distributed on three occasions leaflets to the public to bring about public awareness to the problems.
Mr. Overbury recommended that I put all the letters that I had
sent to I.B.C. on a computer disk for him to read, these letters to
be copied from my data base, I said that I thought that there was
one hundred of these letters. Mr. Overbury suggested that I
highlighted ten or thereabouts of these letters, prioritised these
letters to importance of the safety and harassment aspects. I was
to let him have this data together with the other evidence. I
would receive a letter itemising the fact material that he needed.
I stated that all the letters sent to I.B.C. where referenced fiddle
and I showed Rupert Overbury a copy of one of the letters that I
had sent. I also stated that I had sent a copy of the book
Surrogate Daughter to the Chief Executive of I.B.C. this book
contained safety details to be addressed, and harassment to the
paying patrons of the Broom Hill pool, there was also reference in
this book to my sexual fantasy of a fourteen year old girl that I
had fell in love with at the Broom Hill pool. One of the graphs in
this science book related to my orgasm repetition rate of fantasy
of the young woman. I wanted to know if I was likely to be cross
examined on this matter ? Mr. Overbury stated that he would
object to such material being published in court.
Mr. Overbury stated that I had obviously been a thorn in the side of I.B.C. and he felt the court would agree that Mr. Ball had fabricated the story about the petrol bomb to get me away from his house and that David Ball had assumed that I would be locked up on remand unable to prepare a good defense, He thought that this would be a good defense. The meeting was concluded. I received a letter from Charle's Riddleston dated 26 09 96 with the required tasks set out for my attention.
I had written to Nigel Pickover the Evening Star Newspapers editor,
a very bitter letter highlighting my extreme annoyance that
his paper had not been helpful in my opinion in publishing my
safety concerns particularly the evidence from the H.S.E. that
further remedial safety work was needed on the diving boards at
at the Broom Hill pool. In a very poor mental state I had included
other irrelevant text material. I had also threatened to sue the
Evening Star for a false defamatory publication about the roller
skating rink court case. I enclosed the controversial poetry,
(C) Child abuse total misuse. This behaviour highlights my
very poor
induced mental state. Nigel Pickover had turned the paper work
over to the police, their visit was a result of this.
This event was unexpected and quite devastating for me, I did not have the cash for a replacement computer. I was writing the event for this book on computers, I was designing electronics on my computers, I do not have a television, I cannot survive without a computer. I needed also to prepare the work for the solicitor, and the pending court case. The police did not find my backup data and basic program disks that were hidden up in the house, and I had my data further backed up with a friend. Within a week, another friend lent me an old computer, this was suitable for the text work that I needed to do. In total, I lost about eight working days because of this event that caused me considerable new mental de:stability. The work required for me to do for Charle's Riddleston and Rupert Overbury was ready by 08 October 1996.

Dear Charle's,
Apologies for not sending data earlier. The police raid and the
removal of my computers and software has made life very
difficult of late, a friend has loaned me a computer.
RE, THE SET TASKS SET BY, MR. OVERBURY 24TH SEPTEMBER 1992,
------------------------------------------------------------
1. There are 3 disks enclosed, One for yourself to file, Two for
Mr. Overbury, all the disks are the same. Mr. Overbury gets
two disks in case there is a disk fault, one as a spare.
There are approximately 50 letters to I.B.C. on the disk, not
100 as I first thought.
2. Pared down to 12 letters.
3. Four newspaper articles enclosed.
4. Two H.S.E. letters enclosed.
5. Two leaflets enclosed.
Re, 3. The additional enclosed news article about John Ward
Swimming pools manager. It was never publicised on the
front page of the councils propaganda sheet the Ipswich Angle
( Wangle ), that John Ward their overall swimming pools manager
had beat up his wife and was fined four hundred pounds for this.
Can you mention this in court ?
Re 3. See additional enclosed news article, June 09 1994. Pools
Diving Area Finally Declared Safe. Useful ? Important last
part, this ties up with the H.S.E. letter listed below.
Re 4. Additional H.S.E. letter, Aug 1995. This refers to the verbal
recommendations to fit additional hand rails to the diving
boards by the H.S.E. to make this part of the diving boards
safe. This very necessary work was never carried out.
I have enclosed an exact computer generated picture of
the pool dark areas as they were in 1994. 15 / 20A.TXT.
This caused me to call in the press, this may be useful ?
I have enclosed a 1993 I.B.C. angle publication 12. Staying
Cool In The Pool. The quoted figures are ridiculous, only
ten thousand recorded at the gate entrants, users for a
summer season. The pool gets 2000 users on a single hot
day. This is the equivalent of five days use for a summer
season. Ridiculous, This may be useful ?
I have enclosed the photographs, Total 14 Exhibits. Please return
with the enclosed paper work after the court, case, ignore the
green labels on these photographs. Photographs 01 to 11 and 22
where taken mid August 1993. 20 and 21 Where taken in early august
1994. Note, the refurbishment substantial improvements. Note, No
additional hand rail improvements as verbally recommended by John
Claxton the H.S.E. Inspector.
The recorded delivery slips and receipts for all the letters are
with the police. I do not think these are relevant for this case.

GENERAL NOTES PERTINENT TO ALL OF THE ABOVE.
--------------------------------------------
David Ball is a school teacher at Coppleston high school
Coppleston Road Ipswich. He teaches a technical level of
computing. He administers the file server for the school
computers. What is his School salary ? How much of his time is
spent at school ? What is his I.B.C. salary ? How much of his time
is spent there.
SERIOUS NOTE. Many of his youngster / child pupils use Broom Hill
swimming pool, He is not concerned / was party to the possible
death of one of his pupils.
In early August 1993, I was arrested on the pool side for being
abusive and threatening to Steven Huntley, the manager of the
Broom Hill Swimming pool. I was very aggravated and angry at his
refusal to get the dangerous diving boards and the other safety
matters sorted out. Please refer to the photographs, these where
recorded just after this event. Fined œ100:00P by Ipswich
magistrates.
In mid August 1993, I called in the H.S.E. The H.S.E. issued a
remedial notice to effect, repair, for most of the points that I
had raised in the enclosed correspondence. These where hand and
safety rails to be fitted. The boards to be covered with none
slip material. The stairways to be replaced and made none slip.
You may also wish to write to I.B.C. to see if they will give you
permission to obtain a copy of the H.S.E. remedial notice from the
H.S.E. at Chelmsford. There are I feel some very interesting points
to publish.
NOTES PERTINENT TO THE LEAFLET CAMPAIGN LEAFLETS.
-------------------------------------------------
Leaflet 1. Meeting 13 Sept 1993. This leaflet was distributed,
placed under windscreen wipers
on cars, on all the car parks,
many I.B.C. controlled car parks in the centre of Ipswich purely as
a retributive agitation against I.B.C. Three people turned up at
the meeting to equal the police officers present. There was no
point in talking. The leaflets certainly agitated I.B.C.
Leaflet 2. Meeting 08 July 1994. This leaflet was distributed
to people around the outside
of the pool. I could not gain
access to the pool. I could not contact many of the divers that
had previously used the pool. Only about fifteen people attended,
these where mostly youngsters, not artistic divers, I did not
bother to call the press. There where a lot of Hierarchal I.B.C.
members behind the closed main gates, they where very concerned.
I Am,
YOURS SINCERELY
TIM MARSH.
Before the committal proceedings at the crown court, I received
through the post the Indictment for the final appearance for the
Crown Court case.
This hearing was for 10 AM. 27 09 96. I arrived at the building. Security was tight compared with the magistrates courts. There was a metal detecting screen that you had to walk through for the detection of any metal objects hidden about the person. You where positively identified before you passed in to the building. 90 % of the people here where in dress suits or other formal attire. Presence, about 30 % Police officers 30 % Barristers 30% Group 4 security guards 5 % It was very apparent that this was a different ball game.
Mr. Rupert Overbury had arranged a fellow barrister to represent me at this hearing, this was of little consequence as the procedure this day was another formality. I spoke with the barrister in a private annexe room set aside for this purpose. We discussed today's hearing, it was agreed that I would plead guilty to the lessor charge, the court procedure was outlined. This meeting ended, we went outside to wait to be called. The barristers then talked about other prior famous court cases. I had some copies of New Scientist Journals, science books that I had taken to read, I read these, however I found it difficult to read, I was not in a good mental state. I spotted a Mr. Jamie Cann the local collusive unresponsive MP and his wife bench seated, I went and sat next to Mr. Cann and proceeded to read my science books. I introduced myself to him, shook hands, he then realised who I was and he appeared to be uncomfortable.
Eventually I moved away from him, I felt quite violent towards
him. I noticed that barristers paired off and walked
ritualistically too and fro backwards and forwards the length of
the reception area, about twenty metres. These walking rituals I
observed could last for up to twenty minutes in mutual
conversation. Eventually I was called to court. As I entered the
doorway I was searched by Group 4 security, My keys and any
throwing objects where removed from my person. I was then told by
the security officer to enter the court. I was told where to
stand. I was asked to state my name and address and then the
court prosecutor read out the charges for me to enter a plea, I
was asked if I understood this, I replied yes. The charges where
then stated I that I had gone to the house of the Ipswich Borough
Labour council leader Mr. David Ball and that I had,
STATEMENT OF OFFENCE.
---------------------
THREATENED TO DESTROY OR DAMAGE PROPERTY. Contrary to
Section 2 (a) of the criminal damage act 1971.
PARTICULARS OF OFFENCE.
-----------------------
TIM MARSH on the 30th day of May 1996 without lawful excuse
threatened DAVID WILLIAM BALL that he would by throwing a
petrol bomb through the door of DAVID WILLIAM BALL's home damage
property belonging to DAVID WILLIAM BALL intending that the said
DAVID WILLIAM BALL would fear that the said threat would be
carried out.
I was asked how I pleaded to the above offence,
I replied NOT GUILTY.
And, that in furtherance, a further charge,
STATEMENT OF OFFENCE.
---------------------
COMMON ASSAULT, contrary to
Section 39 of the criminal justice act 1988.
PARTICULARS OF OFFENCE.

TIM MARSH on the 30 day of may 1996 assaulted DAVID WILLIAM
BALL.
I was asked how I pleaded to the above offence,
I replied GUILTY.
Below is the INDICTMENT that I received before the first
appearance described above in the crown court. Added to this are

I am the above named person and I live at the address shown
overleaf. I am the leader of Ipswich Borough Council. In the
course of my duties with the council I have received
correspondence from a person called Tim Marsh. The
correspondence has been of a pornographic nature, and is also
threatening and abusive. I am also aware that other council
departments and council members have received similar
correspondence from this man. This has gone on over a period of
several years.
This morning at about 8.10 AM I was at my home. There was a quiet
knock on the front door. I went to the door in my dressing gown
and opened it. A man was standing there, he introduced himself
as Tim Marsh and said that he would like a meeting with me. I
instantly recognised the name and I told him that I would be
happy to have a meeting with him but it would have to be down at
the council with officers of the council. His reply was, " I am
not going down there, they're a bunch of thugs." He then repeated
his demands for a meeting saying he wanted it here at my home
over the weekend.
As we where talking I could see that he was slowly becoming more
tense. His lips and mouth where taught and there was dry spittle
in his mouth. I again reiterated that any meeting would have to
be down at the council. Marsh then walked in to my house, he
punched me to the chest area, I went backwards slightly and he
punched me in the chest again. I had my arms spread, exposing
my chest area to indicate I was not going to retaliate. After the
second punch he retreated back out of the house and began to
explain what his demands where. He was shouting loudly and
pointing his finger. His demands were a free pass to broom hill
swimming pool, that he had lost thousands of pounds due to the
council and that he wanted the matter sorted out over the weekend.
He said that if it was sorted out by my having a meeting at home
with him there would be no violence. He went on to say that if
there was any funny business, " I'll put a petrol bomb through
your door. As he was saying this, he was backing away from my
door. During the incident the whole implication was that if I
complied with his demands there would be no violence but if I
didn't there would be.
As I am aware of previous correspondence from him I believe that
He is a dangerous man and that he would harm members of my family
or damage to my property. The comment about " funny business " I
took to mean contacting the police or other council departments.
I would describe Marsh as male, white, approximately 38 years old.
He was not very tall approximately 5'7" tall, stocky build. He
was bald but had hair around the sides of his head which I believe
was dark grey. He was wearing a yellow tee shirt and dark coloured
jeans.

I am the above named person, and I live at the address shown
overleaf. I am a practising G.P. and have been practising for 16
years.
At about 8.10 am this morning I was at my home. I heard a knock at
the front door. I said to my husband it must be the postman and my
husband went to answer the door. I then got in to the shower and
after a few minutes I could hear shouting voices from the front
door. The voices where very loud as I could hear them above the
noise of the shower.
I went and stood on the landing. I saw my husband David standing
with his back to the stairs, a man who I would describe as male,
white, approximately 40 years, tanned complexion, stocky build
with a bald head and greying hair, wearing a yellow anorak with a
white tee shirt underneath, this man was shouting loudly, pointing
his finger at David. I heard him say that he wanted a meeting at
the house and that there would be no violence. He started to talk
about goings on at Broom Hill Pool, saying the attendants were
useless and other things. I got the impression that he worked
there. He said he had lost œ40,000 because of the council and
because of them he was on the dole. The man was retreating away
from David as he spoke but he suddenly came back in and
reiterated his demand for a meeting. His behaviour was aggressive
and threatening. He then said words to the effect that he wouldn't
vouch for the consequences if he didn't get what he wanted. I took
this to be a threat towards my husband. After saying this the man
left.
I have spoken to my husband and in view of what he told me and the
mans behaviour this morning I believe the man's statements to be
deluded and his behaviour psychotic. As a result of this I am
extremely worried about what this man might do and take his
threats very seriously.

counter Speaking
times
After the usual introductions and procedures. MARSH
was cautioned as per CJPO 94 and agreed that he
understood. MARSH was then interviewed regarding
alleged offences of assault and threats to kill.
01.31 WPc HUMPHRIES reminded MARSH of the reason for his
arrest, that being on suspicion of assault and
threats to kill to David BALL of 100 Cliff Lane,
Ipswich who is the head of Ipswich Borough Council.
MARSH agreed that he had, had disputes with the
council over Broom Hill swimming pool for some
time.

MARSH " Yes I did "

MARSH " Why Angle I call it ? "
926 " Why Angle is it ? "

926 " I see, can you tell me why you went round his
home address today ? "
MARSH " I went to see Mr. BALL Principally about the safety
of the swimming pool, It,s an on going saga and
it's very serious "
926 " Right "
MARSH " And I went to see him about the fax last year, the
correspondence that he's received erm that the
perimeter fence was left breached and represen-
tation made to me, from me to the council, to the
police, I came in and saw inspector GOOCH about it
and letters that I've written about it, I'm very
serious, I,m very seriously concerned that their
trying to, that they're trying to murder somebody
in the swimming pool and just close it "
04.15 MARSH explained that he went to BALLS address that
day to communicate with him over the dispute.
06:30 926 " When did you start getting a bit "
MARSH " Heated "
926 " A bit heated "
MARSH " When he admitted that he knew that it appears that
they where trying to kill a patron in this
swimming pool by the management, that's what he
said "
926 " How do you mean by he admitted, what did he say ?"
MARSH " I said that the security obstacle fencing was
breached last year and it was deliberately left
open for three weeks in the hottest part of the
summer, there where a lot of people using the pool
at night, the police where aware of it and through
representations made me, erm it stopped they've
now got an alarm in that swimming pool ".
07.05 " MARSH stated that he had got upset because BALL
had not communicated with him over the matter with
the with the breached fence. MARSH admitted that
Mr. BALL had asked him to see him at his office and
not his home address. He went on to state that he
would not go to the council offices as he was
afraid that he would be assaulted. When asked who
would assault him, he replied that a security
officer might, as he had been intimidated in the
past.
09.51 926 " What happened this morning it came to an account
that you ended up actually physically assaulting
him "
MARSH " What's a physical assault ? I mean he has'nt got
any red marks on him, I,m sure, I mean there's
no damage to his person whatsoever "
926 " Did you punch him ? "
MARSH " No "
926 " In the chest ? "
MARSH " No pushed him "
926 " Do you deny punching Him ? "
MARSH " I deny punching him, I pushed him "
926 " You pushed him ? "
MARSH " Yeah "
926 " Why did you push him ? "
MARSH " Because I got very angry when he admitted that "
926 " But You're inside his house though aren't you ? "

that's somebodies going to die in that swimming
pool "

House ? "

926 " Because obviously he is making the allegation that
you,ve made a threat to his life "

that didn't happen I just held him "
12:14 " MARSH went on to admit his behaviour was
threatening. A general discussion regarding
the problems at the swimming pool. MARSH
admitted that he had demanded to sort the problem
out with Mr. Ball.
14.32 " MARSH stated that it was a good thing that
everything had come to a head as it would now go
to court and perhaps a few lives could be saved.
15:07 " WPc HUMPHRIES asked MARSH if he was aware that Mrs.
BALL was upstairs in the house. He stated that he
was not. The officer explained to MARSH that Mrs.
BALL had heard everything from upstairs and had
said in her statement that his behaviour was
aggressive and threatening. MARSH went on to state
that he had not gone to the house angry and that
there was not any premeditation to violence.
17:06 926 " Mrs. Ball in her statement all right, overheard
you say words something similar that "
MARSH " Mmmm "
926 " That, that, that you couldn't vouch for any
consequences that would happen "

and asked her to say that and put it in her
statement couldn't he "
926 " You think so "
17.29 MARSH " Yeah "
926 " That's what you're saying "
MARSH " Yeah "
17:40 WPc HUMPHREYS then went over the facts as
discussed in the interview, during which MARSH
admitted pushing Mr. BALL, But denied punching
him.
19.09 Other matters where then discussed.
22.34 MARSH was then asked if he wished to add or
clarify anything, but declined.
23.10 Interview concluded at 6.22 pm.
------------------
I did not want to admit to punching David Ball or to threatening to kill him, I was fully aware that as Ball was the Ipswich Borough Council labour party leader, a very high profile politician, that if I admitted what had happened: then I would have been remanded in prison to await trial. Police statements are often a lying competition, Ball had lied in his police statement 1. There was no threatening and abusive letters sent to the council. 2. I did not state they're a bunch of thugs. 3. No statement of funny business. 4. The only pornographic material ( Text ) was in the book Surrogate Daughter that I sent to James Hehir.
The book Surrogate Daughter was enclosed with the letter fiddle12.txt to James Hehir. This letter is referred to earlier in this book as one of the letters sent to I.B.C. These are the letters as listed as sent to my solicitor, re: the tasks Q.C. Mr. Overbury asked me to complete. I sent James HeHir this book because it highlighted the harassment of patrons by his crooked swimming pool management in 1992, this harassment enforced by the pool attendants at the Broom Hill pool. Also, in this adapting draft there was a list of safety points including a diagram for the diving boards adaptation. The diving board adaptation and many of the safety points where addressed nine weeks later by John Claxton an inspector of the Health and Safety Executive.
I was so mentally disturbed by the on going harassment, the dangers to the public: children being hurt, I quickly sent all the information to James Hehir. This was a cry for help, help chief: people could die here. Not for one moment did it occur to me that James Hehir would not support a public safety issue: and that he would ignore the harassment by his management of me. James Hehir is just a cheap crook, the same as his subordinate officers: uncaring for the people under his control, and supportive of public harassment! Resign Scum Bag.
I was not happy that I had upset G.P. Mrs. Ball, and obviously
this had affected Mrs. Balls important work that day. I drafted
out a letter to that effect, this letter was never sent to Mrs.
Ball upon the advice of Mr. Charle's Riddleston my solicitor:
as this letter could be determined as further harassment. I
publicly apologise to Mrs. Ball now.
I lied in my police statement, I was concerned that if the police thought that I was violent and hit David Ball, that I could still go and hurt him or his family. I was very concerned that as David Ball was such a prominent local government figure, that I would be remanded in custody to await the trial. Fortunately for me this did not happen.
This was to be the court case of the decade, I had alerted the national press, David balls statement would invite hilarious laughter in the court when my Barrister asked David Ball to confirm that, " I went to the door in my dressing gown and opened it. " There would also have been much amusement to every letter referred to as fiddle, " I refer to letter fiddle59 Etc. This case would have saved the Broom Hill pool and Ipswich Airport. There would have been many resignations at I.B.C. including James Hehir the chief executive. The national press would have had a field day.
I realise that the foregoing text is not as fluid as it could be, this book is still being written from notes and needs further adaptation before paper production: if events take this course. This text is raw and has not been proof read prior to print. The following text is a very basic draft from notes, hurriedly put together, and needs a lot of work prior to paper publication.
From September 1996 my mental health started to deteriorate, I was hoping that this case would be over, I needed to clear this case to get on my life. I could not work, I wanted to start my electronics business, I could not do this, the pending court case was a negative priority. The removal of my computers by the police was quite unexpected and quite a set back. Unfortunately, things where going to get a lot worse. I was sliding down a negative slope with psychopathy: to severe nervous exhaustion.
07 11 1996 I was arrested at 8:30 AM by two police officers at my house and taken to Ipswich Police Station for questioning, I had telephoned I.B.C. about a domestic service problem, I had stated who I was, and that if they did not address the domestic service problem I would go to the head of leisures house and tip rubbish on her lawn. I also stated that I would be unpleasent to the head of leisure if this happened. Two I.B.C. officers had filed a complaint with the police stating that I had threatened to petrol bomb the house of Sheila Bagulay the then head of leisure. The two I.B.C. officers concerned where the Head of Benefits, a Mr. John Booty, and a Miss Freith a subordinate officer.
I told the police these statements where untrue. It was obvious
I.B.C. where trying to get me remanded in prison to be beaten by
agents, brought up from the cells in to court for trial in a
very negated poor mental state. Charle's Riddleston arrived
after he had finished in court that afternoon, after a short
discussion with the remand officer, I was told that I would be
released. I was talked to very sternly by a police officer,
he stated on no account at any time telephone Ipswich Borough
Council, use a solicitor; get him to write on your behalf:
never contact I.B.C. direct. I was glad to be released, I was very
unhappy with the whole event; I thanked Charle's Riddleston for
his support, and I thanked the police for their professionalism,
including the politeness of the arresting officers, and for the
nice meal: lunch and teas that they had given me.
I left the police station very unhappy, what was I.B.C. going to do next ? I felt the whole thing was engineered by James Hehir. The event had destabilised me further, I was becoming extremely paranoid, I thought, " what the hell is going to happen next ? " I was very concerned that the police where going to knock on my door to arrest me again on another false allegation, I was quite frightened, terrified.
The pressures on me where phenomenal, these pressures and the full account of my psychological adaptation in the period 30 May 1996 to the period April 2002 are chronicled in another book under construction, My adapting mental state was mostly written up in 1996 through to 2002. I was psychologically drained by October 1996. There was a lot of harassment by local agencies / agents that where negating my mental state. I was mentally exhausted and quite psychopathic: there was no delusion. I went and saw My G.P. I outlined my deteriorated mental state, I asked my G.P. if I could go in to a mental hospital for treatment for the nervous exhaustion, and for treatment for the psychopathy. This was agreed.
26 11 96. I was admitted voluntarily to St. Clements Mental hospital. I had outlined to my G.P. that I was so mentally impaired, and in his letter to the hospital Dr. Haas wrote that I wanted the mental hospital to kill me. Fortunately for me mental hospitals do not kill their patients. The drugs that were administered, and the change of the environment, away from the collusive I.B.C. agents harassment and the security of the mental hospital reduced the psychopathy and reduced the nervous exhaustion.
I was not allowed to use the library or the gymnasium in the St. Clements mental hospital. I needed something to occupy me, this caused me to pace up and down the long ward for hours at a time, television, the program content, communally watched by other patients: and the smoke filled recreation room did not interest me; prisoners often walk round in circles for hours to occupy their minds. Caged animals show similar mental symptoms of anxiety. This behaviour was determined / assessed as psychopathic behaviour, and in the report Dr. Byme Consultant psychiatrist sent Ipswich Crown Court he indicated that he did not have the legal powers to detain me, inferring otherwise that: he would have detained me.
Had I have been forcefully detained this action would have made me violent and psychopathic adding credence to the incorrect assessment. Under the proposed U.K. law I would have been detained for perhaps a very long time with the incorrect assessment and my adapted brain program / action. By the passing of time, the mental hospital would have claimed that they had cured me by drug administration: if I was ever to be released.
Whilst I was in the mental hospital, I had a telephone call from
Charle's Riddleston, he stated that the Crown Prosecution
Service where not pursuing the more serious charge, neither were
the police, he was sorry I was not going to get my day in court
and see David Ball's response to cross examination pertinent to
his councils behaviour, this telephone conversation was a further
disappointment to me.
05 12 96. I discharged myself from the mental hospital against medical advice.
I arrived at court punctually, at 1:30 PM. I saw my solicitor and Margaret his secretary, Mr. Rupert Overbury Q.C. arrived, He suggested that we had a chat. Mr. Overbury stated that he knew the Judge His Honour Judge Beddard and that this Judge really does listen to what counsel has to say with interest, the Judge was a very fair and considerate man, I would get a considerate fair hearing.
I was shown the psychiatric report, this was very disappointing for me, the assessment for paranoid schizophrenia was incorrect, the basis for this assessment was that David Ball was not part of a plot to kill a member of the public to close the Broom Hill swimming pool. This was assessed as delusion. I was not happy with this psychiatric report. I did not state that the psychiatric report was incorrect, my mental health had deteriorated, this was very poor, I just wanted to get the hearing over with, and not go to prison !!! I just wanted to get the hell out of that building: and try to rebuild my life.

The prosecutor stood up and spoke to H.H. Judge Beddard. He stated that the defendant had written a book in 1993 that outlined his sexual fantasies, particularly a graph that the defendant had created that recorded his sexual fantasy for a fourteen year old girl. The prosecutor paused there, H.H. Judge Beddard seemed puzzled, and then after a short while he replied " Oh I see." H.H. Judge Beddard then stated that a court case was not in the public's interest. H.H. Judge Beddard then asked, was there a mitigation ?
Authors note. The graph is in a created science book titled Surrogate Daughter, This graph is one of fourteen graphs and ten tables with text that illustrate the adaptation from a extremely pristine brain to a seriously corrupted brain. This is a science book that illustrates all the modes of operation of a brain. This book can be down loaded free from the authors science site.
My Barrister Q.C. Mr. Rupert Overbury then stood up and spoke to H.H. Judge Beddard for the mitigation for the common assault charge, the scenario was outlined. Newspaper articles and H.S.E. letters where handed to H.H. Judge Beddard together with a leaflet of my electronic design capability for H.H.Judge Beddard to look at. H.H. Judge Beddard carefully looked at all of the material. After this my Barrister outlined the whole I.B.C. saga and explained my art as a qualified design engineer.
H.H Judge Beddard looked at the Pre Sentence Report, My Barrister was asked about remorse. My Barrister stated there was no remorse for hitting David Ball, but that I was very unhappy that I had upset G.P. Mrs. Ball, My Barrister explained that I had written a letter of apology to Mrs. Ball, this letter was not sent upon the advice of counsel.
H.H. Judge Beddard read the psychiatric report, H.H. Judge Beddard stated that he was concerned that I could go and see other Council employees, they had to be protected. H.H. Judge Beddard stated that he thought the way forward was a period of probation, I could be monitored in the former event, and I could be monitored in the respect of following the regime of the mental hospital pertinent to taking medication. I was asked if I would agree to this, I thought the alternative would be a prison sentence, I hastily agreed. H.H. Judge Beddard then stated that the threats to petrol bomb the leader of Ipswich Borough Councils house: would be placed and kept on record.
It was ordered that 1. That I adhere to the regime of the mental hospital with regular visits to the hospital. 2. I take the recommended medication. 3. A six month probation order was to be set up to police the above. I was asked if I fully understood this, I replied yes. There was no fine, and no payment of costs was asked for. I thanked H.H. Judge Beddard, the court proceedings ended. I was not happy, I was now labelled a schizophrenic, I knew that there had been no schizophrenia, I knew that I was now seriously mentally impaired, in my assessment, mentally ill / negated. The current mental problems were principally induced depression, and a low level of psychopathy and mental exhaustion. The absolute plus, was that I had not been given a custodial sentence.
Outside the court room I thanked Q.C. Rupert Overbury my
Barrister for his help, and then Charle's and Margaret for their
help, then I had a brief chat with the Courts probation officer. I
returned home with my incorrect brand new incorrect label of
paranoid schizophrenic.
2. That I had bombarded I.B.C. with safety letters.
3. Marsh told police that he believed the council was trying to kill someone at the pool.
4. Following a complaint to the H.S.E. Marsh had received a letter congratulating him on drawing attention to them.
I did not take much of the medication, the mental hospital did not pick this up until almost the end of the probationary period. The probationary period ended August 1997. I complained to the mental hospital, that I did not agree with Dr. Bymes assessment. I was referred to the hospitals legal department, not very caring, typical: the hospital knew I had no funds to bring an action.
My computers where returned, collected by me from Ipswich Police Station in late February 1997, all the data was intact on the hard drives, and all the floppy disks where returned to me with data intact. There was no material on the computers that was considered obscene by the police, there was no prosecution under the Obscene Publications Act. There was no written or verbal apology.
1. Subsidies equal eleven pounds fifty one pence per user.
2. In 1999 the pool cost over two hundred thousand pounds to run.
3. This year even fewer people used the pool.
4. Disabled access was raised as an issue.
Authors note. I find it amazing that this pool cost over two hundred thousand pounds to run, and that visitors to the pool are becoming lesser. The fiddled entrants figures have been calculated on fiddled cash figures only, I feel that swipe cards were not included.
The David Ball meeting and resultant court case has had a very
detrimental affect upon my
long term health. Severe anxiety problems appeared before the
case. I was recovering from this, but in December 1997 my mother
died before I had made a full recovery. A few weeks after my
mother died a very severe anxiety problem appeared, this problem has
rescinded to the year 2002, but unfortunately is still with me.
I have been depressed by this whole event, depression is a serious
problem for me, and I can only work about five hours per day
before I get very tired and go to bed for a while to recover. I
have good days and bad days, My mental health was very good before
I met David Ball. I took the hospital prescribed medication to
relieve stress in late 1997, I am still on this medication to
date, I am addicted to it: I get very stressed if I stop the
medication.
The Crown Prosecution Service and Ipswich police did not prosecute this petrol bomb threat case, I feel that the none prosecution of this case was political to stop the publication of negative I.B.C. event, this has enabled this town to keep another one of it's dirty little secrets:
